Murder rate has decreased 85% since the police substation was put there over a decade ago. Now you are likely to find higher crime rates in many parts of BTR than Gardere

Lived off Brightside (South Brightside View) in the mid 90s for 3 years. It was sketchy and shady then, too. Saw 'entrepreneurs' looking for easy targets leaving Tigerland bars all the time. This is nothing new.

when I lived in Tigerland the most notorious crime that happened there was Rusty Domingue pulling a dude out of his car and stabbing him, it was starting to get frayed around the edge and getting a little shady by the time I left though

It wasn't bad until they started taking section 8 vouchers in the late 90's

I lived in the Brightside view area around 2008-9 and it wasn't the best place, but never felt unsafe. Heard just as many reports of burglaries/thefts as when we lived in gated Beau Pre. It was more like a lock your car doors or someone might try to steal the laptop you forgot. Also used to walk back from the bars regularly. It wasn't that bad even at that time.
I was a delivery driver and went to all the apartment complexes in the area around campus. Tigerland was getting run down, but not quite dangerous yet. You could tell it was a mixture of lower income students and just non-student low income tenants. But it was gaining more non-students. A couple years after that though, it's like it nose dived.
